All classes are mixed free choice which means you can receive tuition on the project of your choice on any date listed. For example I may have 1 person making a quilt, 2 others learning basic sewing and another making cushions. I have taught this way for many years and it works well for my students

For example I may have 1 person making a quilt, 2 others learning basic sewing and another making cushions. I have taught this way for many years and it works well for my students. No long term commitment required – just book dates as suits you.
New students please note that for Dressmaking Tuition you must book a private class and have already learnt to sew (see beginner class). Existing students may continue in group classes.
I have loved sewing for as long as I can remember. Thirteen years ago I began teaching beginners how to sew at Thread & Ginger Patchwork Boutique in Victoria Point. In March 2010 I opened the Urban Sewing Lounge and until 2012 I taught regularly in both locations.
If you're a complete newbie or have some basic sewing skills but don't feel confident enough to tackle your own projects, we offer two learn to sew courses that will get you started. If you want to use a commercial pattern, Basic Dressmaking is for you.
Beginners are encouraged to work on my beginner projects. Designed for the absolute beginner, we cover the essential sewing skills needed when you are learning to sew. Start with a bag, cushion cover or pajama pants.
Ballaarat Quilters does not hold beginning classes. However we can provide information about classes available elsewhere and other resources freely available in the public domain. Potential members are welcome to attend two meetings before making a decision to apply for membership.
These snuggly pillows can be used on the lounge, bed or floor and are perfect for the sleepy travellers in the car. Make them scrappy from your stash or colour co-ordinated from a jelly roll.
You would love to make a quilt and/or sew with support and guidance in a caring community together. We're for the lovers of sewing, those that long to learn, quilt, sew and create together.
